When Google did this with the recent Gemini paper, no one had any problem with calling it out as credential stuffing, but when Deepseek does it, it’s glorious unity and camaraderie.

Because that’s the way China presents itself and that’s the way China boosters talk about China.

No, they absolutely export malware still. All of DJI's apps need to be sideloaded on android because the obfuscated data collection they do is not allowed in Play Store apps[0]. TikTok uses an obfuscated VM to do user tracking[1]. Then there's the malware that the US government has to routinely delete from compromised computers [2][3]

Chinese software deserves the reputation it has.

> To my understanding, most people, even in tech, disregard and look down on Chinese software

Historically, if Chinese software has been installed on your computer, it's been malware.

Yep, it's a national strategy.
